Client’s are often not given much guidance by their medical professional and are left on their own to figure out if their current workout routine is helpful or potentially dangerous. Our job is to keep them safe while doing our best to slow, halt or reverse their condition. In this episode we discuss strategies for minimizing risky moves like loaded flexion while working to improve posture, strength and bone density.

We’ll discuss their essential role in functional hip stability and balance and then walk you through simple progressions and principles to keep your clients moving at their best. <br /><br />Moving Conversation Socials <br /><br />Post Rehab Summit:<br />https://thefirmbodypilates.com/post-rehab-summit/<br /> <br />Brian’s Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: <br />Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain <br /><a href="https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6</a> <br /> <br />Youtube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@brianrichey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.youtube.com/@brianrichey</a> <br /> <br />Email: movingconvos@gmail.com <br />IG: @movingconvos <br />FB: Moving Conversations <br /> <br />Brian <br />IG: @fit4lifedc <br />FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/  <br /> <br />Nora <br />IG: nora.s.john.7 <br />FB: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7</a> ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3667</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>exercise,fitness,pilates,rehab,workout</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/370edb1102edbbe98c129237219243db.jpg"/><itunes:season>2</itunes:season><itunes:episode>35</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Adding Fun to the Adductors!</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/adding-fun-to-the-adductors--64135850</link><description><![CDATA[In today’s episode we discuss case studies involving the low back and the strategies and challenges we ran into.
